Description ▲
The colorful, chaotic, and deadly warfare of the medieval era comes to life in this information-packed volume. Armored knights, massed archers armed with crossbows and longbows, sieges of castles using scaling adders and catapults, phalanxes of pikemen, early cannons and hand-held guns -- all are explored in detail, with frequent quotes by contemporary sources and modern scholars.
